Four pieces of theme music are used for the episodes: two opening themes and two ending themes.

The ending themes are Takacha's "MOVIN!!", used for the first six episodes, and "Baby It's You" by JUNE, used for the remainder of the episodes. The opening and ending themes for episodes 106 to 109 use footage from the "Bleach" featured film, "", to promote the film.

This is also the stopping point for the English dub of the series, as Viz Media's recent financial problems has forced them to pull the plug on the series.
